did you change the coil pack with a genuine vauxhall part as some of the parts supplied by the motor factors are not up to standard. Sounds like a faulty coil or possiable a poor connection which might be opening up as the engine heats up.

One other fault could be a faulty crank sensor which should be under 30 pounds from the dealer so not too expensive as things go.
